Oh man I love this box!!!
Went back to stock on the Smarty. Unwired the TST. Wired this thing in and poof. Nothing, just PL00 and all 9999's like a couple of others have seen. Went back over everything and found the underhood fuse tap disconnected. Plugged it back in and went for a spin. Man oh man it fuels on the big end. I attempted a boosted 18 psi launch and it didn't defuel on me, but I was also in 2wd as my front Diff is giving me fits. Boost is off by about 5-6 off my Isspro mechanical. I'll have to check EGTs and tranny temp later this week, as I'll have to come up with a solution so I can run both and see how they compare to the Adenaline's readings. I'm still running Beta 062 and will update to the latest that Quad sent out the other day. I'll be honest I didn't feel any surging on level 6 but I'll see how the 10 level program works out.
All I can say is Quad you have a really good product so far and I feel it can only get better. Keep up the good work. I know I appreciate having someone still interested in the VP44 crowd.

Thank you for such a quick response!! What should I check first since I can not get any power out of the box? I can change levels and all of the gauges are reading properly. But from level 001-006 there is no power difference. I am currently trying to get the update to take to get the 10 levels. Thank you

First thing you should do is take the pump wire off. With the MAP sensor, Data link and the power and ground wires hooked up you should at least have noticeable power in PL2. The pump wire only affects levels 3 and above.
Now, if you are on the wrong pump wire it could cause some issues even on PL2 but, I am not sure of all those scenarios.
SO, get that part working first, not sure what could not be hooked up right? Check the power wires to make certain BOTH of them are connected properly and are getting power. Also make certain the ground is good, I recommend the battery.
You do have the data link hooked up right? That would cause us to remain at stock power levels.

Ok, I'm not having a defueling issue with boosted launches. It spools to 20psi just fine and I left in 4wd this morning. It leaves hard and I didn't feel a defuel. I did notice that at about 10 PSI there was a sort of hiccup, but I just kept it matted and it spooled right up to 20psi.This was all on level PL06 of a 6 setting program. This box also seems to fuel much harder on the low end then the Smarty did. I leave a bunch more smoke at an intersection if I am heavy on the throttle from a stop.
I also drove around yesterday on the different levels and now I understand what you'll are talking about with the surging. It'll buck fairly hard on a part throttle slow pedal roll. Stops doing it on PL02. I'm off to update my box to the 10 level program and see how she does with that.
Boost numbers are also for sure off 3-4 psi for sure. On my drive in, I held a steady 10 pounds on my mechanical guage and it was flipping between 13-16 psi on the Adrenaline.
Quad I can't say enough good things about this box, keep it coming.

Ok, before I send this to everyone, I need a couple of people that can give me some feedback pretty quickly.
I have version 1 of the competition tuning done. I like it but, it is going to vary from truck to truck. There is a lot of fueling happening. I mean a LOT.
So if you can get it downloaded quickly post up and I will send it to you.
